Photos: Deadly fire at government building in eastern Pakistan

LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) - Police say five people have plunged to their deaths trying to escape a burning government building in eastern Pakistan, Thursday, May 9, 2013. Police officer Maruf Wahla says the death toll could rise, since firefighters have not been able to enter all areas of the nine-story building in the city of Lahore. Local TV stations broadcast dramatic footage of people jumping from the Lahore Development Authority building Thursday as smoke poured from the windows. A crowd of horrified Pakistanis stood at the base of the building looking up. Wahla says the fire started with a spark from a generator. Many buildings in Pakistan have their own generators because of frequent electricity outages.
